BBQ Pork (Char Siew) Sauce

Ruinerjs said:

Hi, I've found plenty of recipes for BBQ Pork (Char Siew)
but i can't seem to find one which explains how to make
the redish sauce that restaurants use to pour on and
flavour the steamed rice which they serve along side the
pork. From the recipes that I've used it doesn't seem like
it is just the marinade that you use to make the pork. Can
anyone help? If you can please email the recipe to my
email address - [email hidden]

HUGELY appreciated!

Try the Lee Kum Kee brand Char Siu sauce (usa.lkk.co-usa.lkk.co-Open ↗
m/USSite/ProductDetailInfo.aspx?ProductID=4). I think LKK
makes very good Chinese sauces (although some of their
products are better than the others). If I don't know what
brand is good for a particular type of sauce, I'd usually
just go with LKK. They are available in Asian grocery
stores. (Try chinatown if you live near one).

I usually doctor the LKK sauce with some added hoisin and
ginger powder. I also add a touch of water because that
stuff is really hard to work with (very gloopy and sticky).
